2020 Full-Year Vegetable Planting Schedule Summary: Plant Seasonal Vegetables

Vegetables are an essential food in life. Different foods are planted at different times, and there is a certain art to the timing of vegetable planting. Below, we have compiled the 2020 full-year vegetable planting schedule for everyone, so you no longer need to worry about what vegetables to plant!

1. Common Types of Vegetables

1. Heat-loving vegetables

Heat-loving vegetables are not exposed to frost and should be transplanted after the spring frost has passed and the climate has steadily warmed. Because these vegetables grow somewhat more slowly than heat-loving vegetables, they can be planted early, giving them enough time to grow. Common heat-loving vegetables in our daily lives include sweet potato, peanut, green bean, tomato, pumpkin, cucumber, gourd, amaranth, water spinach, edamame, and various kinds of beans.

2. Cold-loving vegetables

Cold-loving vegetables need cool weather conditions during the seedling stage, and frost can enhance their flavor when they mature, but they cannot tolerate heat, such as Chinese cabbage, white radish, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, celtuce, carrot, celery, cilantro, onion, scallion, and Chinese chives. For cold-loving vegetables that mature relatively quickly, they can be planted in spring whether in the south or the north, such as cherry radish, baby bok choy, Shanghai bok choy, and lettuce.

3. Cold-tolerant vegetables

Cold-tolerant vegetables are very tolerant of cold during the seedling stage and can safely overwinter, but their later growth still requires warm weather. Therefore, they are generally planted before the first frost, and after the weather warms up the following spring they can continue to grow. Common cold-tolerant vegetables include broad bean, pea, rapeseed, asparagus, and shepherd's purse.
